As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 24 Search for me!
"You?" Yu was a little surprised: "Can you read the accounts?"

"I know a little bit." Xie Zhaozhao said with reservation: "When I was in the army, didn't my father let me read some of the army's accounts? You forgot."

"I really forgot." Mrs. Yu took her daughter to the table, took the booklet she was looking at and handed it to Xie Zhaozhao, "Then take a look."

Xie Zhaozhao took it and read it quickly. By the time Yu turned around to drink tea, she had already read several pages.

Mrs. Yu was quite stunned for a moment when she saw Xie Zhaozhao turning the pages quickly and confidently.

Does this girl really understand?

Xie Zhaozhao, who had only seen some miscellaneous accounts in the army, of course could not understand the account books.

But she had gone through her previous life, and when Chu Nanxuan was fighting in the north and south, when the war was difficult and food and supplies were tight, she was frugal and prudent.

It is no exaggeration to say that sometimes one has to count every penny, so he also learned a set of skills from the accountant in the army.

The further he looked through the account book, the weirder Xie Zhaozhao's expression became, "The account is quite beautiful, but if you look carefully, the front and back don't match up."

"Really?" Mrs. Yu stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

"Here, here, and here." Xie Zhaozhao pointed to a few places, "and there are a lot of ambiguous expenses written, and the person who handled them did not sign or post. I think this is an account book for the family to see, not a real account book. Bar."

Mrs. Yu couldn't understand what was wrong with those things, but Xie Zhaozhao said so firmly that her face instantly turned ugly, "How can you make sense, use this to deceive me!"

"Let's do this. I'll go to Yilan Garden and ask my second aunt for the real account book. Mom will ask Aunt Zhao to call the chief steward and accountant in the house, and we'll look at it later."

"Okay." Mrs. Yu nodded first, then frowned: "Your second aunt is the most troublesome. You can't get her if you go."

"No." Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "I will reason with Second Aunt properly."

Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt relieved.

……

Xie Zhaozhao took Hongxiu and Hongxia to Yilan Garden.

The cleaning maids in the yard were all nervous. They were obviously frightened by Xie Zhaozhao's killing of Xiangyu and his attack on Xie Xingchen in the street outside.

Xie Zhaozhao ignored them and led his people directly into the flower hall.

Mr. Dou was sitting at the table, wearing a gray plain clothes and a decent sutra copy. Xie Xingchen was sitting in an armchair with a soft cushion behind his back. His face was a little pale. The original slap marks had now disappeared. .

"Second Aunt." Xie Zhaozhao saluted casually.

"You also know that I am your second aunt." Madam Dou said with a cold face.

She cried and said, "I only want to do the best for the Xie family", but now she didn't bother to show it to Xie Zhaozhao, "I even entered the house directly without being notified, why do I need to be so polite now?"

"I just mean it." Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Since the second aunt dislikes it so much, then I won't mean it anymore."

Mr. Dou's expression was ugly: "You - you stinky girl! You deliberately misled us about the matter!"

"I don't." Xie Zhaozhao came up and sat at the table, "It's chaos if you care... But having said that, you care more about Chu Nanxuan than I do. I really didn't notice it before."

Mrs. Dou gritted his teeth and stared at Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Xingchen, whose face turned pale on the side, was about to cry: "Zhaozhao, how could you—"

"Shut up!" Xie Zhaozhao glanced over with a cold look, "Isn't one slap not enough, you still want to get one? Just say what you say, and don't make such gestures!"

Xie Zhaozhao added: "Second Auntie doesn't even pretend in front of me now. Are you tired of still pretending?"

Xie Xingchen suddenly froze.Mr. Dou glared at Xie Zhaozhao: "What on earth are you here for?"

"I'm here to get the account book from my second aunt." Xie Zhaozhao said slowly, "I'll leave after I take it."

Mr. Dou's face was expressionless: "The account book has been sent to me, what else do you want? If you don't understand it, just say you don't understand it!"

"So the second aunt is bullying my mother who usually doesn't read the accounts and doesn't understand, so she uses those things to fool her?" Xie Zhaozhao's voice suddenly became cold, "My mother doesn't understand. Is there no one in the world who can understand the accounts? ?"

"Do you really think no one can see that there is something wrong with the accounts?"

"Second Aunt, I advise you to take out the account books and let us live in peace, otherwise I will be offended."

"What do you want to do!" Mrs. Dou slapped the pen on the table and stood up, pointing at Xie Zhaozhao's nose: "I am your elder, if you dare to be presumptuous with me, I will never forgive you!"

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Ms. Dou quietly, her eyes as cold as cold stars bursting with cold light. After a moment, she suddenly smiled: "Then I will see how you, the elder, Second Aunt, will never be lenient to me." .”

"Xie Zhaozhao, you-" Mrs. Dou was frightened by the sight. Just as she was about to ask her what she wanted to do, Xie Zhaozhao calmly ordered: "Search for me!"

"Yes!"

Hong Xiu responded and rushed into Yilan Garden with a group of maids in dark red uniforms.

Like the male soldiers, the maids tied their long hair on their heads with wide hairbands, equipped with soft armor and long swords. They rushed in aggressively and started rummaging through Yilan Garden.

The maids in Yilan Garden were so frightened that they scrambled to get out of the way.

Mr. Dou's face turned livid: "Are you bringing the same tricks you used in the military camp to your home to deal with me?"

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao smiled softly and well-behaved, and his tone was very helpless, "I also want to have a good talk with the second aunt, but the second aunt doesn't cooperate, so I have no choice."

"You rebellious one -" Mr. Dou's face turned livid with anger, "I will go to my uncle for comment! My uncle will never let you go!"

Xie Zhaozhao's smile deepened, "Daddy won't go home until tonight. You should make more preparations during the day and think about how to cry and cling... However, in ordinary people's homes, crying and clinging are common. Son, these are all the specialties of concubines who are not worthy of being on the stage."

"After all, the second aunt is the wife of the second wife. She is so good at crying and obsessing that outsiders don't know what to think if they find out about it."

"If the second uncle who is under the Nine Springs sees it, I don't know how to be angry and angry."

Mrs. Dou felt dizzy in front of her eyes, and with a thud, she fainted from anger.

"Mother, mother!" Xie Xingchen rushed over to support him, his face full of anxiety.

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect her to be so angry.

She said lightly: "Call a doctor for my second aunt."

Xie Xingchen saw the maids turning her room into a mess, throwing things everywhere, like bandits crossing the border, and she was trembling with anger.

She and Mr. Dou were unwilling to hand over the account book, of course because it was a bad account. How could they take it out?

But Xie Zhaozhao made up his mind that he would dig three feet into the ground today.

Even if they couldn't find the account book, it wouldn't make Dou and her daughter feel comfortable.

"Miss!" Hong Xiu called down from the second floor, "A wooden box was found in the secret compartment here, with a lock."

"I don't know what's inside." Xie Zhaozhao looked at Xie Xingchen, "Second sister, why don't you open the lock and let me take a look. If it's a ledger, I'll withdraw it immediately."

The implication is that if it's not, then I have to keep looking.
